2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty Trailer Wiring Recommendation for Bumper and In-Bed 7-Way Sockets
Question:
I have a 2002 ford f250. I have a fifth wheel camper with a 7 pen. Tag a long dump trailer 7 pin. and a 4 pin boat trailer. I would like to install a 7 pin /4 pin combo on the bumper and a 7 pin in the bed. Can you recommend a wiring harness for this?

Absolutely!
To get a 7-Way into the bed of your 2002 Ford F-250 I recommend the Hopkins Endurance # 41157 which will tee in behind the 7-Way we'll install at the back of your vehicle.
For the 7-Way/4-Way near your bumper I have 2 different solutions depending on if you already have wiring there or not:
With Factory 7-Way
- Trailer Connector Socket # HM40975
Without Factory 7-Way
- 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # 18252
- Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7
The HM40975 will plug into your existing 7-Way by disconnecting it at the US CAR connection (right behind the 7-Way plug), while the 4-Way Flat and Universal Installation kit are complete hardwire solutions which are needed if your truck didn't come with anything from the factory.
